Sensitivity to haptic sound-localisation cues

Scientific Reports Fletcher M.D., Zgheib J. & Perry S.W. Cochlear implants (CIs) have been remarkably successful, in recovering hearing for severely-to-profoundly hearing-impaired individuals. However, users still face substantial limitations, particularly for sound localisation and segregation. Recently, we have shown that sound localisation and segregation can be substantially improved for CI users using tactile stimulation on the wrists. …
